Two dogs with half-rhyming names also appear in Norse myth, as Odin's constant companions, the wolves Geri and Freki. Odin also had two ravens, Hugin and Munin, who provided him with knowledge as they scouted the world. Appropriately, Odin was not only the source of wisdom but the source of war, and was hung on a tree (for nine days) and lost an eye in order to gain power.
